I played a lot of Arkham Origins after Christmas and I really want a Black Mask trilogy with him as the lead villain, with some hired guns thrown in the mix like Deathstroke, Deadshot, and maybe Shiva during the trilogy.

In all honestly with the right storyline and scripts, I think it could be very workable. Considering Black Mask is basically one of the forefronts in the Mob and is quite a nasty villain in his own right.

Sure but he's also incredibly one-dimensional. He's an excuse to just have violent scenes with some mobster who wears a mask. I've always liked him, and would like to see him used in a movie. But maybe 1 or 2 movies, as a small recurring character. First movie as a side villain/crimelord. Maybe a 2nd movie cameo.

I like that he's what Bruce Wayne could've become if his parents were *******s.

But it only goes so far.

If anything, Origins undermines the character. Makes him look weak. I think he works best as a side villain

Black Mask would be great for an animated trilogy. The Penguin/Black Mask/Falcone mob war with assassins, like Deadshot, Deathstroke, etc etc. That'd be a nice animated movie saga, but big budget, live action... it's too risky and bland for the general audience.

For a big budget movie, Black Mask would be a great secondary villain. But for the primary, you need someone like Joker, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, the Court of Owls. Something like that.

I would use Black Mask's gang as Batman's focus, only to have him find out they're being overseen by The Court of Owls.

Hard to believe there will ever be a Joker to match the one performed by Ledger, @ least in the near future... Yeah I know, people say it all the times about characters and each time they find someone good or very good to portray that character that people feared won't be so good, but Ledger was so outstanding and fitted perfectly to the role, that I just can't imagine someone who could do it AS GREAT as he did!

As for villains I wanna see, well different ones obviously: Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy (obviously NOT in the same movie! ), Riddler. But I wouldn't mind another take on Catwoman tbh!

Reboots should try to do their own thing, rather than try to outdo the older ones. The Dark Knight's Joker was amazing, but isn't the only way to go with him. If the mindset is that they need a Joker who can do better than Heath Ledger, they're going to fail. What they need to do is focus on being different from Heath Ledger's performance. There are plenty of ways to go with Joker, that won't be compared to Heath at all. That's what they need to go for.

Maybe the next joker should be more like the comics joker. Take a different route. And I mean more like the Joker we know from the old days. A bit like Nicholson. Give him a definitive origin this time.
